His plea was for remedial Legislation,
which would destroy dlscOutent leading

The Tory plan now is only reDetl-

In Ireland for centuries. 1t 10 arbitrary

In the last eighty years twenty five dis

free press, the right to bear arms, to

the tyranny and oppression, however
the Irish people were never 80 we'll
united and more self sacrificing.
As Mr.. Gladstone declares, "fOrce Is
no remedy, for after its failuTe-aDd II
has always parted-comes the same
problem to be solved, the same difficult
ties to overcome, the same questions to
settle."
The battle is Joined but when 1t will
be concluded is quite another question.
1t may last for years but Mr.. John Dillon
thinks 1t will not last over two or three
years. He says the landlords and ten
ants, under existing conditions,
must be utterly bankrupt In a twelve
month. "NO amount Of coercion can
get blood out Of a stone OF compel men
who have got no money to pay rent"
Coercion will hasten the day Of jus.

Tory pArty-and the return Of Glad

rejection Of the lessons Of progress and
craftsmanship, recalls the blundering
Of our home Radicals an JacObins In
the reconstruction they proposed and
attempted for the south after the war.
Whatever measure of SUCCESS was
achieved became a potent weapon in

RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS
THE SLATE AS 1T NOW sTRNDs FOR
THIS IMPORTANT BOARD.

The Railroad People Deeply Concerned In
the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Of Authority
In the War OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES ths
Pacific Coast-Capital News.
WAsHINaToN, March 30.-The president d
now busted in the selection Of the three com.
missioners for the Pacific railroad inquiry.
The railroad people are showing themselves
deeply concerned about these appointments
It is understood that Senator Cullom. who
failed to get any friend Of his appointed ON
the interstate commerce commission, is very
anxious to name one of the three railroad
commissioners, and it is understood that his
favorite-a Republican Of course-is wen
known railroad attorney Of Illinois.
Governor Abbett Of New Jersey, is urged
for another of the three places For the
third Mr.. Henley, Of California, has been
strongly urged by those who want the
ably as familiar with the subject of inquiry
as any man the president can get He is Q
thorough honest man Of independent meanA
but the railroad influences are very active
against him Their argument is that MH4
Henley is notoriously unfavorally to them.
But as the Republican member of the conn
mission is pretty sure to be railroad man, h
would seem that Mr.. Henleys unfavorablO
view Of the railroads should recommend him
for the place. Tho inquiry is not for white
washing purposes, but to get at facts, and
Mr.. Henley's disposition to get at the facts
would make him a Jealous and effective man
on the commission.

The Democratic party Is and ever has
been the labor party. II has ever been
the party Of justice, opposed to class
legislation and monopoly. Ever cham
pioning the rights of labor and individ
ual liberty, 1t is the party Of truth, JUS
tlce and the Constitution.
The Democratic party sprung into
existence in consequence Of the
oppression and monopoly schemes
of old federalism. 1t now
antsgonizes the so-oalled Repub-
llCan party, the party Of class legisla-
ton and monopoly. This Republican
party was the immediate offspring Of
the Know-NOthlng party, nominating
Fremont for President in 1850. who was
defeated by James Buchanan.
In 1880 they elected Mr.. Lincoln, al
though the combined votes Of the other
candidates exceeded Lincoln's vote by
near million. In fact che Republican
party has always been In minority
in the Union. Every labOring man
should realize the fact that the Repub-
lican is the monopoly party; the party
OF class legislation End all manner Of
schemes to plunder labor and honest
business. Facts inconteStable establish
all this

AspIrations for 1aSa.

nection with ex-senator Warner Miller's
trip to California. It is said that Mr.. MI
ler's visit, while ostensibly one of pleasure, Is
in reality to sound the sentiment of the Pa
cifc coast Republicans in regard to the next
presidential nominee. II it shall be found
that Senator John Sherman can secure the
Pacific coast delegation in 1888, Mr. Miller's
friends will whoop things up in New York
for the Ohio statesman, with view to Civ
ing Miller the second place on the ticket II
is claimed that combination of the Sher-
man and Miller forces would give 10 the
former at least half of the New York deleGa-
tion, which, together with a solid delegation
from Ohio and more or less delegates from
the south and Pacific coast, would give him
lead over all his competitors, with the poO.
